well seems horrifically I'm actually properly ready for a track day.

well other than missing wheels!

assuming weather holds up no excuse for me not to get a PB.

anyhow MArio and I are planning on sharing a garage so there is one slot free if any-one wants in! (well assuming I get there early enough.)

Man my feet are knackered. Standing all day out there, and then went to the JDMST meet and feet were retarded, was not in the mood for photos after that!

Not to mention the 2 and a half hours I spent making sure all the photos look great aha..

Anyway, got some quality stuff so keep an eye out on my FB page. Shit's coming :D

Concur about a great day, thought it was going to be damp, ended up knocking 1.5s of the PB and Martin, correct again, really is a 1:26 there. Racechrono showed a .8s gain just through sweeper section (later braking, higher cnr speed). Braking with the Brembos was a bit on/off with me, couple of times was too sharp and didn't get the front fully weighted so skidded on, other times too conservative.

Only problem, so long till the next track day - bring on the karts.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
